Mystery Surrounds Missing Pilgrim During Guru Nanak Dev Celebrations in Pakistan

Sarbjit Kaur, a pilgrim visiting Pakistan for Guru Nanak Dev's birth anniversary celebration, did not return to India with her group. The Indian authorities, along with their counterparts in Pakistan, are investigating her disappearance. The event occurred during a Sikh yatra led by Giani Kuldip Singh Gargajj.

Sarbjit Kaur, a woman pilgrim from Amanipur village in Kapurthala, did not return home after a religious visit to Pakistan. The pilgrimage was part of a trip celebrating the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev.

Kaur, along with over 1,900 Sikh pilgrims, crossed into Pakistan on November 4 through the Attari-Wagah border. The group visited several significant Sikh shrines, but Kaur did not return with them.

Immigration authorities in both countries are working to gather more information. This incident occurred despite initial hesitations from the Indian government about allowing the 'jatha' to travel for the Parkash Purb celebrations.
